A rollicking indictment of the liberal elite's hypocrisy when it comes to food.
Ban trans-fats? Outlaw Happy Meals? Tax Twinkies? What's next? Affirmative action for cows?
A catastrophe is looming. Farmers are raping the land and torturing animals. Food is riddled with deadly pesticides, hormones and foreign DNA. Corporate farms are wallowing in government subsidies. Meat packers and fast food restaurants are exploiting workers and tainting the food supply. And Paula Deen has diabetes!
Something must be done. So says an emerging elite in this country who think they know exactly what we should grow, cook and eat. They are the food police.
Taking on the commandments and condescension the likes of Michael Pollan, Alice Waters, and Mark Bittman,
The Food Police casts long overdue skepticism on fascist food snobbery, debunking the myths propagated by the food elite. You'll learn:
- Organic food is not necessarily healthier or tastier (and is certainly more expensive).
- Genetically modified foods haven't sickened a single person but they have made farmers more profitable and they do hold the promise of feeding impoverished Africans.
- Farm policies aren't making us fat.
- Voguish locavorism is not greener or better for the economy.
- Fat taxes won't slim our waists and "fixing" school lunch programs won't make our kids any smarter.
- Why the food police hypocritically believe an iPad is a technological marvel but food technology is an industrial evil
So before Big Brother and Animal Farm merge into a socialist nightmare, read
The Food Police and let us as Americans celebrate what is good about our food system and take back our forks and foie gras before it's too late!Books with free ebook downloads available Free The Food Police: A Well-Fed Manifesto About the Politics of Your Plate

Free The Food Police: A Well-Fed Manifesto About the Politics of Your Plate
"If we are to discuss the morality of food, foremost in our minds must be the ability of people (especially the poor) to eat. Whatever else the modern food elite may say--their push for soda and Twinkie taxes, their promotion of local foods, their attempts to regulate processed and fast food, their aversion to biotechnology--their actions make it harder for the poor to meet the most basic necessity of fending off starvation." -- page 37
Just in case you haven't noticed "progressives" are on a roll. Barack Obama's grand plan to "fundamentally transform America" is well underway to the point where I no longer recognize the country that I grew up in. On a whole host of monumentally important issues such as immigration, education, health care, gun control, land use and same-sex marriage "progressives" have been successfully and incrementally implementing their radical agenda. Now people like New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and other left-wing ideologues want to dictate to the great unwashed exactly what we should grow, cook and eat. Jayson Lusk believes that these elitists are dead wrong and dangerous. He has methodically laid out his rebuttal in the compelling new book "The Food Police: A Well-Fed Manifesto About the Politics of Your Plate". Lusk points out in no uncertain terms that the dubious polices being peddled by certain pointy-headed professors, left-wing politicians, government bureaucrats and their willing accomplices in the mainstream media threaten our continued ability to produce high quality food at a price that most people can afford. After reading "The Food Police" you will understand why the author believes these people must be stopped dead in their tracks and sooner rather than later.
